There would be an opportunity to work in our office in midtown, but it would not be required.The right candidate will have the following credentials:
- A JD from a well-regarded law school.
- Must be a member in good standing of the New York bar (SDNY/EDNY admission a plus but not a strict requirement).

- Strong academic background and research/writing skills.
- #1 - Initiative: Must be prepared to independently manage settlement negotiations, complex drafting projects, a litigation calendar, and client interactions. Our partners will help you develop the necessary skills but you will be expected to aspire to (and eventually attain) a significant level of independence.
- #2 - Resourcefulness: Must bring intellectual curiosity and problem-solving skills to the table. You will need to master the facts of your case and to learn the law as you go.
- #3 - Efficiency: To litigate employment cases effectively, you must be capable of efficiently creating polished and presentable work product.
